Question

Is it possible to work in Germany without speaking German?

Answer 1

Yes but I would not recommend it!!

Answer 2

Why sure... you can just go there and they will be waiting at the border to hire you because they don't need any more german speaking people..  you will be hired on the spot.

Answer 3

If you are a US citizen you can get a job with the US military

Answer 4

No.

Depending upon the kind of work you can start without knowing any German, but in the long run you'll be forced to learn German. It is simply a matter of necessity. It is very difficult to deal with everyday live in Germany if you do not speak any German. It is also very difficult to find a job, since the large majority of jobs require at least some basic knowledge of the local language.

Most importantly: The German Office for Foreigners (Ausländerbehörde) will not allow you to become a legal long-term resident if you cannot prove basic knowledge of German. They can force you to attend lessons in German if you don't. This question will come up when you apply for a residency permit.

Answer 5

Let's be honest: No!

Although a lot of Germans speak English nowadays, or other foreign languages, the only official language is German, no matter where you work.

If you are IN the military you may get away with it, but you're not considered working on German territory.

If you work FOR the military, as a civilian hire, you still have to speak German.

Everything else is nonsense. To work in a hotel or as an English teacher you need to have some German knowledge, period.

Answer 6

Only for the Military Bases. You need to look at the Government jobs for overseas. If you are teacher, nurse, manager, doctor you can find jobs easy.

Answer 7

its bit difficult bt in some jobs u can

Answer 8

Indeed.

Answer 9

Yes it is possible.  But I think you will rather learn some German.

My Boyfriend is American and he works for an American company.

He don´t need German for his Job but he have problems like, many people in the company are German and he don´t understand what they say cause they sometimes speak German in the office or during the break time.

So I think learning German will be better and will help you to become integrated  in  Germany.

Good look

Answer 10

yes, maybe as a front desk clerk in a hotel

Answer 11

As an English speaker. You can pick something up at an Airport, teaching English or depending on your background check doing security at an Amerícan Army base. Berlitz hires native speakers on a constant basis and Ponds Security Service hires regularly. Dealing with the German Alien and Labor office you'll need to bring someone as a translator. They can only speak German to you. Viel Gluck.

Answer 12

It will be possible. Here are a lot illegal Africans working here. But it will be hard to survive. But if you are one of the top players in industrie there will be no problem getting a high rated job here.
